        "content": "On Archive of Our Own (AO3), you can enable **comment moderation** on your works so you\u2019ll get to approve comments before they appear publicly. Here's how to turn it on and how to manage related comment settings:\n\n---\n\n## How to Enable Comment Moderation for a Single Work\n\n1. Go to **Post New Work** (or edit an existing one).  \n2. Find the **Privacy** section on the work form. ([scribd.com](https://www.scribd.com/document/870938582/New-Work-Archive-of-Our-Own?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Look for the checkbox labeled **\u201cEnable Comment Moderation\u201d**. Checking this box means you\u2019ll receive comments in your AO3 inbox (and via email if you\u2019ve enabled notifications), but they won\u2019t appear on your work unless you approve them first. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-use-archive-of-our-own-become-better-writer/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Other Related Comment Settings\n\nIn that same **Privacy** section, you\u2019ll also see options for controlling who can comment on the work:  \n\n- Registered users and guests  \n- Only registered users  \n- No one can comment whatsoever ([ao3commentoftheday.tumblr.com](https://ao3commentoftheday.tumblr.com/post/673961200037593088?utm_source=openai))  \n\nThese allow you to limit or block commenting altogether if that\u2019s your preference.\n\n---\n\n## Editing Comment Settings for Multiple Works\n\nIf you have several works and want to change comment/moderation settings all at once:\n\n1. From your **Dashboard**, go to **Edit Works**. ([tumblr.com](https://www.tumblr.com/abyssalshriek/770678181263015936/if-you-write-on-ao3-archive-of-our-own-edit?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Select all (or whichever works you want to change).  \n3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and change the comment/mode settings (e.g. enable moderation, restrict to registered users, or disallow comments).  \n4. Click **\u201cUpdate\u201d** to save changes across all selected works. ([autumnslance.tumblr.com](https://autumnslance.tumblr.com/post/721831217001103360/if-wanting-to-avoid-getting-such-comments-set?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Important Notes & Considerations\n\n- Comment moderation means **you must manually approve** each comment before it becomes visible on your work. You\u2019ll see them in your AO3 inbox. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/AO3/comments/1ibpqq9?utm_source=openai))  \n- You always retain the ability to **delete or freeze comments** as needed. Freezing a thread stops new replies. Deletion removes comments entirely. ([ao3commentoftheday.tumblr.com](https://ao3commentoftheday.tumblr.com/post/673961200037593088?utm_source=openai))  \n- If your work becomes \u201corphaned\u201d (e.g. your AO3 account is deleted or unmaintained), and moderation was turned on, then you may no longer be able to approve comments \u2014 they go into a moderation queue for the \u201cOrphan Account.\u201d As a result, those comments likely won\u2019t ever appear. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/AO3/comments/1rnyw6z/comment_moderation_on_an_orphaned_fic/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through step-by-step **with screenshots** or show exactly where the menu is (especially if you're on mobile). Do you want that?"

        "content": "Here\u2019s how you can edit a work on Archive of Our Own (AO3) that\u2019s currently saved as a **draft**.\n\n---\n\n## Steps to Edit a Draft Work\n\n1. **Log in** to your AO3 account.  \n2. Hover over your username in the top-right and click **\"Dashboard\"**.  \n3. On your Dashboard, find **\u201cDrafts\u201d** (this is where your unpublished works live).  \n4. Click on the draft you want to edit.  \n5. Once you're in the draft, you'll see the familiar form you used to begin the work\u2014title, summary, tags, all that. Make any changes directly in those fields.  \n6. For the story content itself, scroll down to where you initially typed or uploaded it. Update whatever you need\u2014text, formatting, additional chapters (if applicable).  \n7. Scroll to the bottom and use **\u201cPreview\u201d** to see what your draft would look like as a published work. Then either:\n   - **Save as Draft** again if you're still working, or  \n   - **Post** when you\u2019re ready to make it public.  \n\n---\n\n## Important Things to Know\n\n- **Draft expiration:** Drafts on AO3 are *temporary*. Unpublished drafts are automatically **deleted after 1 month** from when they were first saved. ([tumblr.com](https://www.tumblr.com/ao3org/64779006313/wrangletangle-cractasticdispatches-can?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Writing backups:** It\u2019s highly recommended **not** to write everything directly in AO3. Use a local text editor (Word, Google Docs, etc.) and paste over to AO3 to avoid losing your work due to browser crashes or the draft timeout. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/AO3/comments/ts65sv?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Publishing date behavior:** When you save as draft, the work is associated with that draft date. If you later publish, you can edit the **publication date** field if needed to affect where in tags or searches your work appears. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/AO3/comments/1kkf5pp?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me whether you're on **mobile or desktop**, I can walk you through with screenshots or exact clicks for your situation \u2014 want me to do that?"
